Bottle, from historic notes. Source not recorded. Poured bright golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of citrus, lemongrass, light hop and coriander. Medium sweetness. Moderate body. A little bitter to finish. Ok.

500ml Bottle - Pale golden with a white head. Grassy and hoppy aroma with hints of lemon. Hoppy and slightly spicy taste with hints lemon in the finish. The lemongrass gives it a bit of a kick.

500ml bottle from Tesco, Ashford, Kent. According to the label this is made with lemongrass. Pale gold with a thin white head; finely carbonated with some sediment as it’s bottle conditioned. Sweet citrus aroma; citrus flavours, quite thin and sour with a hint of nettle (perhaps the lemongrass?), and a slightly herbal bitterness to finish.

Bottle I picked up at Sainsburys, Kidlington, Oxon and consumed at Cropredy Festival 2008 Pours light golden with good clarity. Fruity and dry beer but quite refreshing, some lemon comes through, its fine but a bit too similar to many hundreds of golden/blonde beers that currently kick around.
